Review of Starfield

Starfield (2023 Video Game)
2/10
Urgh. More familiar jank and loading screens galore
14 October 2023
I'll start by pointing an accusatory finger at the reviewers giving gigantic reviews with 10/10. You are clearly shills so your "review" was clearly paid for. You are the filth oof the world. Go find a real job.

My experience of this game has been VERY negative. The level of jank is something we have come to expect from Bugthesda. But given Todd have his usual hollow brag about how much they had refined the game then how many more years did they need to fix the rest of the jank that remained. On to my next comment ...

Travel ...

Loading ...

Yeah, loading screens. That's basically all this game is most of the time. It is a incredibly UNrefined experience. You literally fast travel almost everywhere, especially in space. This has been such a disconnect for the experience. You can literally do most of your travel from the Map menu and don't even need to board your ship, take off, or fly from system to system. Just find your destination, hit Travel and arrove. Wow Todd, WOW!! SMH.

I'm sure many people have heard about the absolutely infuriating NPCs. Not only do they fall out of your ship sometimes but they also disappear through walls, floors and vanish completely. But, the most infuriating thing they do, is interior you DURING COMBAT to discuss their feelings or something that happened in their past. OMG Sarah just STFU and shoot!

Space combat is infantile. If you have played Elite Dangerous and play this you'll probably throw up in your mouth. It's pathetic, it really is.

Travel on a planet is so damn boring! Everything is so far away and so generic or boring when you get there. Probably my favourite thing to do when I land on a planet is wait for the obligatory ship that lands nearby and go and steal t. It literally happens every time.

I got the Mantis early on and several Eclipse and Crimson fleet ships. But it combat just feels so childish and inelegant that I'd rather not bother. There's no tactical finesse to it at all. Plus shields never seem to recharge. It's just dumb.

One of the first things I did was remove the carrying limit, something I do with all Bethesda games. So I can now carry 1 million tonnes of items. Haha.

Mods. I have installed so many already. You need to. It's basically essential to get the game to work well. Space UI, Inventory, texture packs, etc. This just feels like the hassle I had to go through with Skyrim and the Fallout games to make them look and work better. Bethesda should just give up. They suck at games. They just don't realise it.

Loading screen ... OMG loading screens!!!!!
